Israel has enacted strict new security rules for all airlines flying into and out of the country, mandating the submission of crew information 48 hours before departure. These measures follow a September 30 incident where a flydubai copilot attacked the captain and attempted to crash the plane en route to Tel Aviv. The new directives aim to bolster security by allowing Israeli authorities more time for background checks on flight crews and passengers.
